As I made my way through the usual pile of MSM drivel, I came across an article on MSNBC. The headline read, "Pakistan Islamic groups decry U.S. after strike - Purported CIA strike missed intended al-Qaida target, killed civilians". Now at First glance, you get the usual 5 paragraphs about the "innocent civilians" getting killed in a Predator Drone strike by the CIA. As well as, the anti-american demonstrations that took place following the bombing. Then comes the truth and the most freaking important part of the damned article. The "innocent civilians" invited Zawahiri to dinner! At this point, you are no longer an innocent civilian. If this was to happen here in the good ol' USA, you would be arrested for aiding and abetting a known felon. But in the world of the Middle East and terrorist haven, you need to duck hellfire missiles and bombs. If you don't want to spend your day hiding from missiles and bombs, don't invite freakin' terrorists to dinner. If you do decide to invite them to dinner, do not be stunned when all your stuff gets blown up and your family ends up in body bags.
You can have peace. Or you can have freedom. Don't ever count on having both at once. - Robert A. Heinlein -
